1 Unit 3: Assessing Risk in Sport Unit code: QCF Level 3: Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose R/502/5617 BTEC National The aim of this unit is to make the learner explicitly aware of the vital nature of risk assessment and its management within the sports industry. Unit introduction The health and safety of sports participants is in the spotlight more now than it has ever been. It is more important than ever to make sure all risks are minimalised prior to sports participation. This unit gives learners knowledge and experience that can be used to help promote a culture of health and safety in sport. Legislation created by the British and European parliaments, and administered by the Health and Safety Executive, aims to improve health and safety in all sectors, including sport. Under the umbrella of British law, but not based on statute legislation, is common or civil law. This places a responsibility on everyone in society to have a duty of care to everyone else. As sports leaders this will be defined as higher duty of care which is based upon experienced and knowledgeable leaders being able to foresee potential hazards and incidents. The consequence of sports leaders failing in their duty of care is the charge of negligence being brought against them through the civil courts. It is therefore important that learners understand the issues and how they affect them when working in the sports industry. There have been several serious incidents in sporting situations where life-threatening and life-changing injuries have occurred, or people have lost their lives. It is important to stress that health and safety should be a priority for all those who work in the sector, with the aim of reducing incidents and making the sector safer for participants. This unit develops learners awareness of the importance of health and safety legislation, regulations and legal responsibilities of all those working in sporting situations. Learning outcomes On completion of this unit a learner should: 1 Know the key factors that influence health and safety in sport 2 Be able to carry out risk assessments 3 Know how to maintain the safety of participants and colleagues in a sports environment 4 Be able to plan a safe sporting activity. 1
2 Unit content 1 Know the key factors that influence health and safety in sport Legislative factors: eg Health and Safety at Work Act (1974), additions to the (1974) Health and Safety at Work Act (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR), Management of Health and Safety at Work Act (Amendment) Regulations (1994), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, 2002), Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH, 2002), Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (1981), Manual Handling Operations Regulations (1992), Management of Health and Safety Regulations (1999), Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act (1987), Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority Regulations (2004) Legal factors: law (statutory, civil law, case law); in loco parentis; duty of care; higher duty of care; negligence Regulatory bodies: appropriate to all activities (Health and Safety Executive HSE); other regulatory bodies, eg local authorities, local educational authorities, police; appropriate to specific activities or specific types of activities, eg Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority (AALA), National Governing Bodies of Sport 2 Be able to carry out risk assessments Risk assessments: aims (eliminate, minimise, protect participants from harm); objectives (identify hazards, identify those at risk, assess chance of hazard causing harm, grade risks); risk controls, eg do not do activity, modify activity, protect participants from hazard, provide appropriate safety equipment, provide appropriate training, provide appropriate supervision for participants 3 Know how to maintain the safety of participants and colleagues in a sports environment Procedures: operating procedures and good practice, eg staff training, staff development, risk assessments, emergency procedure protocols, first aid, communications cascade system for notification of incidents; safety procedures and protocols, eg established to maintain a safe environment, governing body guidelines, equipment manufacturers guidelines, when to consult with others, who to consult with, local and national requirements 4 Be able to plan a safe sporting activity Plan: roles and responsibilities, eg leader, coaches, first aid; equipment (type, use); suitability of site; suitability of participants to activity; guidelines (participants, leaders); insurance Review: eg effectiveness of risk management, injuries, near misses and dangerous occurrences, suitability of group for activity, effectiveness of briefings, suitability of equipment, support of other agencies (governing bodies, local authorities, police); strengths and areas for improvement 2
3 Assessment and grading criteria In order to pass this unit, the evidence that the learner presents for assessment needs to demonstrate that they can meet all the learning outcomes for the unit. The assessment criteria for a pass grade describe the level of achievement required to pass this unit. Assessment and grading criteria To achieve a pass grade the evidence must show that the learner is able to: P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 describe four legislative factors that influence health and safety in sport [IE4, CT3] describe the legal factors and regulatory bodies that influence health and safety in sport [IE4, CT3] carry out risk assessments for two different sports activities, with tutor support [IE1, IE2, IE3, IE4, IE6, CT2, CT4, CT6, RL4, TW1, TW2, SM2] describe three procedures used to promote and maintain a healthy and safe sporting environment [IE1, IE4, IE6, CT1, CT2] produce a plan for the safe delivery of a selected sports activity and review the plan. [IE1, IE2, IE3, IE4, IE6, CT1, CT2, CT5, CT6, RL3, SM2, SM3] To achieve a merit grade the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass criteria, the learner is able to: M1 compare and contrast the influences of legislation, legal factors and regulatory bodies on health and safety in sport M2 independently carry out risk assessments for two different sports activities M3 explain three procedures used to promote and maintain a healthy and safe sporting environment M4 explain the plan for the safe delivery of a selected sports activity and review the plan.

4 Essential guidance for tutors Delivery The underpinning knowledge and skills developed by learners throughout this unit can be applied to other specialist practical units in the programme of study. Health and safety is a key element in all industries and society itself and learners should be fully aware of the impact of health and safety on sport. Learners will not only come to recognise that there are external factors influencing the delivery of sport, but that the sports deliverers themselves can influence how safe the activity is through their own good practice and operating procedures. This is especially true as authorities and society now hold those who deliver sport more to account than at any time in the past. Deliverers of sporting activities need to be fully aware of their roles and responsibilities when working with others. Although this unit is predominantly theoretical, it is strongly recommended that centres combine it with a practical unit that requires learners to deliver a sporting activity. This will give learners a real situation on which to base much of their learning. By combining units, centres should be able to cover all four learning outcomes through practical activities and contexts. The content concerning legislative and legal factors and regulatory bodies will require theoretical study. However, if centres choose to integrate it with a practical unit learners will see how legislation influences the activity they intend to deliver. If centres choose not to integrate delivery, the content could be put into a real context through learners visiting sports organisations. Learners need to carry out two risk assessments and review the controls put in place. This is best achieved by placing them in a practical context. If centres follow the recommended route and integrate, then the risk assessment will be based on planned practical activities. However, integration is not mandatory and this content can be delivered independently. All centres will have their own system of risk assessment, and it is recommended that this system is used for continuity. Centres should emphasise that it is the controls put in place to eliminate, reduce or protect from the risk that are the key to an effective risk assessment. Maintaining the safety of participants and colleagues requires learners to know not only how participants could be harmed, and the terminology used to describe this, but also how to manage an event practically, through monitoring, observing and modifying. Some of this could be delivered on a theoretical basis, but the real learning will come from practical involvement. This area could also be covered through visits to organisations which deliver sports activities so that learners can examine how they maintain a safe environment for colleagues and participants. Learners are required to work towards planning and reviewing a sports event. The plan of a safe sporting activity need not be delivered but should be reviewed on its completion. As this is largely a theoretical unit, learners will gain more from their studies if it is integrated with a practical unit and planning is put into practice. Centres could link with a sports event where learners assist in the delivery of the event and then apply their learning to their own studies. Centres should remember that health and safety in sport is one of the most important aspects of many roles within the sports industry, including those of the sports leader, fitness instructor or coach. Therefore, centres should strive to relate learning in this unit to practical delivery of sporting activities, focusing on engaging learners and providing them with the tools to work or study safely in sporting environments. 4
5 Outline learning plan The outline learning plan has been included in this unit as guidance and can be used in conjunction with the programme of suggested assignments. The outline learning plan demonstrates one way in planning the delivery and assessment of this unit. Topic and suggested assignments/activities and/assessment Introduction and overview of the unit Assignment 1: Factors Affecting Health and Safety in Sport (P1, P2, M1). Tutor introduces the assignment brief Legislative factors practical work to cover a minimum of four factors that are relevant to sport Legal factors and regulatory bodies research in small groups and feedback to the group Assignment 2: Risk Assessment Why and How? (P3, M2, D1). Tutor introduces the assignment brief Types of risk assessment documentation/proforma available identifying aims, objectives and controls learner activity Risk assessment practical application and observation producing completed risk assessment for two different sports learner activity Assignment 3: Plan and Review a Safe Sporting Activity (P4, M3, D2, P5, M4). Tutor introduces the assignment brief The role and purpose of key procedures: operating procedures and good practice, safety procedures and protocols individual research, small group discussion and feedback to the group Safe delivery of a selected sports activity individual practical exercises providing opportunity for learners to plan and review risk management Review of reflective practice of unit and assessment Assessment For P1, learners need to describe four pieces of legislation relevant to sport from the Unit content. Learners should show some understanding of the importance of legislation such as the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974). Centres will need to make their own judgements on the importance of other legislation based on the endorsed programme title learners are taking. For example, at BTEC National level, learners studying the outdoor adventure pathway will place greater emphasis on the Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority Regulations 2004 (AALA), while those studying the Development, Coaching and Fitness pathway will place greater emphasis on the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH, 2002). For P2, learners must describe legal and regulatory terms defining our behaviour and actions when working with others in a sporting environment. Learners should describe what these terms mean and in what context they will apply. For P3, learners must complete two risk assessments for sporting activities, with tutor support. These risk assessments must include aims and controls to eliminate, minimise and protect participants from harm. It is recommended that learners use the risk assessment reporting sheets of their organisation to meet this criterion. If this is not possible then pro forma risk assessment sheets are available from the Health and Safety Executive website. 5
6 For P4, learners need to describe three procedures used to promote and maintain a healthy and safe sporting environment. Learners may wish to describe the methods they have used, or will use, in delivering activities or they may describe the procedures used by another organisation. This criterion could be achieved through a presentation or by observation of learners in a practical setting using a well-devised proforma checking assessment sheet. For P5, learners should produce a plan for the safe delivery of a selected sports activity. Again, this could be learners own activity or the planning system used by outside organisations. Learners should then review the plan, including identification of strengths and areas for improvement. For M1, learners must recognise that statute and case law are different and that even though the terms used are legal definitions they are not necessarily terms used in statute law. Learners should be able to make the link between these legal definitions and the requirements of a good, responsible sports leader. They should also be able to demonstrate a good knowledge of legislation, legal factors and regulatory bodies applied correctly to their chosen organisations. For M2, learners must carry out risk assessments autonomously. As with P3, the risk assessments must include the appropriate risk controls. For M3, learners need to explain three procedures used to promote and maintain a healthy and safe sporting environment. For M4, learners need to explain their plan for the safe delivery of a selected sports activity and review the plan, including an explanation of the strengths and areas for improvement. For D1, learners need to recognise that it is the controls used in a risk assessment that are critical to managing any identified hazards. Learners are required to review the controls used in the risk assessments that they have carried out, and evaluate their effectiveness in eliminating and reducing risk and protecting people from that risk. For D2, learners need to analyse three procedures used to promote and maintain a healthy and safe sporting environment; this analysis requires learners to consider how successful those procedures are with regard to their aim. 6
7 Programme of suggested assignments The table below shows a programme of suggested assignments that cover the pass, merit and distinction criteria in the assessment and grading grid. This is for guidance and it is recommended that centres either write their own assignments or adapt any Edexcel assignments to meet local needs and resources. Criteria covered Assignment title Scenario Assessment method P1, P2, M1 Factors Affecting Health and Safety in Sport P3, M2, D1 Risk Assessment Why and How? P4, P5, M3, M4, D2 Plan and Review a Safe Sporting Activity You are working as a sports assistant in a local leisure centre and have been asked to produce induction materials for new members of staff.

9 Essential resources Learners will require access to information regarding key factors that influence health and safety, specifically in the sport sector(s). These resources can be obtained from the Health and Safety Executive, governing bodies, local authorities and local education authorities. Employer engagement and vocational contexts This unit identifies key legislation and factors relating to health and safety in sport. For it to be of real interest to learners and for its importance to be appreciated it should be delivered, wherever possible, within a sports context. This would mean the centre forming links with organisations in the local sport and fitness industry, showing in practice the risk assessment procedures needed. It would be beneficial to cover a variety of different facilities and perhaps use visiting speakers, for example, sports centre managers or gym instructors, to illustrate real situations that have occurred within the sports industry relating to health and safety. The emphasis should be on how to avoid problems when leading a sports activity.
